Football grounds you can see from the motorway ?
Very bored on this Sunday waiting for the final games of the season.
Can we get a list of all the grounds you can see from the motorway ?
Walsall has to be the obvious one.
Wembley and the Arch.
Leeds
Colchester
Crawley
Just a few to get us started.

You can see the floodlights at West Brom but nothing else when driving up the M5.

Re: Football grounds you can see from the motorway ?
Technically Colchester/Crawley can't be seen from a motorway, if we're including dual carriageway/A roads then..
Stoke City
You can JUST about see St Andrews from the M6.

You used to be able to see Ewood when joining the motorway from Shadsworth on the M65. Industrial units block it now though

Technically you can see St James Park from 1 the A167(M) although I wouldn’t argue if you said it doesn’t count.

‘Walsall’ and ‘show off’ aren’t something I’d ever imagined would combine together.

I'm not saying the motorway was close but the slip road went part over the open end at Eastville.

Re: Football grounds you can see from the motorway ?
You used to be able to glimpse the Madejski from the M4 but its obscure now I think
Re: Football grounds you can see from the motorway ?
I'm pretty sure you can see Old Trafford from the Barton Bridge, and there's a point on the M6 where you can see the floodlights at Deepdale.
Re: Football grounds you can see from the motorway ?
Yes sorry I meant the 65 as you come down towards the M6 junction I think it is.
